Addicted to the deals
Not just one, not two, but three shining examples of impulsive, compulsive shopping at its finest. Any time I’m in front of a computer for any length of time I’ll be checking SteepAndCheep, WhiskeyMilitia, and ChainLove regularly.
- SteepAndCheep (“One killer deal,one item at a time until it’s gone”) features outdoor gear and clothes for hiking, snowsports, climbing, etc.
- WhiskeyMilitia carries stuff geared more toward surf/skate lifestyle. Shipping seems to run a bit higher than SAC.
- ChainLove is all bikes, all the time. Bike clothes, bike parts, bike accessories. I’ve even seen a high-end bike frame up for a couple minutes.
So far I’ve picked up a Crumpler messenger bag and a slick Oakley laptop bag for myself and Skull Candy headphones and a rockin’ pair of pink Oakley Wisdom goggles for egeekette, all at mega-markdowns.
All three sites work similarly: Each puts up an item at a huge discount. When it sells out, a new item takes its place. You gotta be fast – you want it, you better buy it quickly. If (when) you get totally hooked, each site features plugins or feeds to alert you when a new deal is posted.
Feed your shopping jones – check out SteepAndCheap, WhiskeyMilitia, and ChainLove. Just make sure your 401K is solid first.
